Government creates a regulatory environment it claims fixes things, but all it does is create more problems.
The fourth Georgia hospital in two years is closing its doors due to severe financial difficulties caused by Obamacare’s payment cuts for emergency services.

What this tells one is the real cost of government dependency. High dependency on Medicaid. Not a viable business model, unless one believes in heavy wealth transfer via taxpayer funded gubbermint programs.
What a warped article. The whole reason the hospital is closing is because Georgia is one of the states that refused the Medicaid expansion and 23% of the patients that the critical care facility handles have no insurance and are not elegiable for Medicaid. The hospital has only 25 beds to begin with so it isn't actually a hospital. just a rural care facility in a poor area. Bottom line, the republicans are responsible for the shutdown by not expanding their Medicaid program. There have been no "Cuts" in hospital payments under Obamacare.
Here's some actual info from your own link.
Many hospitals in the 25 states that rejected the Medicaid expansion are facing similar financial problems. Liberal administration ally Think Progress has already faulted Georgia for not expanding Medicaid as Obamacare envisioned.
As usual, misinformation and downright lies from the Obamacare haters. In fact, almost all the horror stories that the Obamacare haters post on the internet are cases from the Republican states that refused to expand their system in accordance with the ACA. So basically, you trash the system then complain that it isn't working.
I wonder what Obamas pen and phone can do about? Heck its a red state he does not care at all
He cares and is ready to fund the expansion of medicaid 100% for states that accept it. It's the republicans in the state that don't care about their own citizens.

You think Obamacare doesn't cut reimbursements for the medical field? What world are you living in because it isn't Earth.

Thats a complete lie. Medicaid funding will gradually decrease putting the emphasis on the states to pay for it. Ironically, the decreases are kicking in as the delays get extended, meaning the federal government is limiting its exposure while putting the states on the hook for the liabilities which they cant afford.
